Pamela Paul and PNAS Envy The self-appointed defenders of academic merit can't persuade their peers, but have friends in high places

Pamela Paul is out on the NYT opinion page!

In her honor, re-upping this piece, which typified her approach - a lack of substantive knowledge of the topic, faux intellectualism combined with a tabloid desire to solicit outrage.

Snap elections in Iceland 🇮🇸 today. I was pleased that my problem this cycle was too many parties that I wanted to vote for rather than not a single one to be excited about. Lots of uncertainty about who will win and which parties will make it into parliament make for an exciting election night!

Get a friend to listen to your presentation and time yourself so that you are within the limit. Saved me so much stress to have my presentation ready and to know that it made sense to at least one other person!

Me right now. Also me every time there is an assignment. The fact that it is 100% self-inflicted also does not help.

Granted, during Covid, but decided to just believe them that they were overwhelmed. Had them pick one piece from each week’s readings and then started every class with group work to organize brief summary of reading for the others. Worked pretty well and they actually seemed to do the one reading…

Hvernig má vera að þetta verklag teljist í lagi? Það er ótrúlegt að spítali geti fengið leyfi til að afhenda persónuupplýsingar um þjónustuþega án þess að þeirra samþykki liggi skýrt fyrir.

Fascinating stuff. As someone who once lived on a block now identified by five different names, only two of which I ever remember hearing, I hope the NYT (or someone) does this again in 10 years to see how much has changed.

I might soon pick up Intro to Public Admin for MPAs. Never taught or TAed it myself. If anyone has a recent syllabus or favorite textbook to share I would love to hear about it. Class taught outside the US so focus on more than US inst most welcome as well. Thanks in advance!

I was disappointed to see that that wasn’t on the spice list, tbh. Would have been our one chance to make it onto the chart!
